  • Two reasons the ongoing Reddit protests are important:

    1. the protests keep the pressure on reddit and can lead to ongoing news coverage (which also keeps the pressure on reddit) . Otherwise, reddit will be able to spin the narrative “see? we told you it would just blow over and it did”

    2. kbin, Lemmy, and other alternatives aren’t yet at the point where they’re ready for millions of redditors. For example, the modCoord post makes the important point that a lot of reddit’s moderation functionality isn’t accessible … but almost none of this functionality even exists yet on kbin and Lemmy. So most people aren’t going to leave yet.

    Don’t get me wrong, leaving now is also a good option if you can find what you want elsewhere! But not everybody’s there yet.
